Successful police trials of screening system.

Brijot Imaging Systems announces positive, top-line results from its operational assessment trial of the GEN 2 Object Detection and People Screening System performed by the Office of Law Enforcement Technology Commercialisation (OLETC) during a pilot trial at the Baltimore Police Department Headquarters Building. The results confirm state of the art screening technology characterized by advance capabilities beyond those offered by more traditional screening options such as metal detectors.

Highlights of the trial include:.

* The report details a successful "Pass" grade for functionality, performance, and reliability in the operational assessment of the BIS-WDS GEN 2 weapons detection system at the Baltimore Police Department Headquarters building in Baltimore, Maryland.

* Functionality: Personnel noted use of the system made their screening more thorough when used secondary to metal detectors. The assessment of functionality was a PASS.

* Performance: Personnel cited BIS-WDS GEN 2's digital documentation capabilities, its ability to detect concealed objects not picked up by the metal detector as notable strengths. The assessment of performance was a PASS.

* Reliability: Personnel indicated that the system demonstrated reliability with detecting concealed metallic objects and object greater than 3 inches by 5 inches. The assessment of reliability on its intended use was a PASS.

* At the conclusion of the assessment project stakeholders found immediate additional applications potential within corrections and even transportation security.

The Brijot GEN 2 system may be used alone or as part of a comprehensive, multi-layered security solution. The system's proven reliability stands ready to uncover items that other technologies such as metal detectors and added security staff are not technically equipped to identify; ie, explosive materials, liquid, gels, Class A narcotics, and stacks of currency. By imaging subjects in real-time the system can be used to direct subjects into secondary screening areas for further investigation, focusing security efforts and eliminating profiling or ineffective random screening.
